Applying Stickers to Hub Motor

[matthewslack]

So now the police have got this new urge to seize e-bikes. I want to make my bike as non-seizable as possible.

I keep my bike roadworthy with good tyres, brakes etc.

I have no throttle.

I have a 250w MXUS XF08C motor.

I carry the invoice, but unfortunately while it says it is 36v it does not state the wattage.

Also there are no markings on the motor stating it is 250w. It does say 36v and 26" but no mention of watts.

I have purchased some stickers from Amazon, but one review says:
"Not sticky enough to stay on bike, edges lifted within minutes"

So my question is what is the best method to apply the sticker to stop it falling off? Spray some clear coat over it perhaps, or use helicopter tape?

By the way, I ordered a sheet of ten stickers, so if anyone wants one for free just let me know.

There is a spelling mistake on the stickers but that will either go un-noticed or I can fob them off with bad Chinese translation.

Having the correct EN number is more important probably than the spelling error, but both errors say 'fake label'. If the motor model number is engraved, that plus a copy of the manufacturer's specification might be as good as anything.

Thanks very much. I'll try it tomorrow when I haven't got a glass of malt in my hand.

I bought some of these on ebay:-

Pardon our interruption...

Correct spelling and EN number. They've been on 3 hubs for about 6 weeks now and still there. One has survived a good soaking (rain and a wash down).

Damn, the EN number is wrong! Well spotted.

Good find. You win this thread.

I got some of these from ebay a while back. They seem to stay on and have done some miles both on a hub motor and on the frame of a converted Specialised bike with a crank motor.



I recognise there is an element of fraud in sticking an ebay label on your bike, but in my case I know for absolute certain that the bikes I own absolutely meet the spirit of the law except in the new interest in labelling which some police forces are now displaying. It is my view that that regulation about labels applies to manufactured bikes and was not applicable to conversions.

As far as some enforcement we have seen it is not possible to have a long ago done conversion which in every way other than a label, meets the rules on power, maximum assisted speed and the necessity to pedal the bike.

Isn't the motor manufacturer supposed to feature on the label too?

Spotted this Attestation of Compliance for the BBS01, even has the right EN number.

I was sent the attached PDFs by the seller of my kit, which might be of interest or use, to the elite and most excellent Bafangers among us in particular, the ones with awesome mid-drive motors vastly superior in every way, towering above the puny and pitiful chaff.
